2019 on 4 October 2018.

services between Russia and Finland which was signed between OJSC Russian Railways,
the Federal Passenger Company, a subsidiary of Russian Railways, and Finland’s
VR Group.

Changes are also being made to the section regulating the carriage of hand luggage.
From 1 January 2019, passengers will be able to take with them one snowboard when
in wrapped form in addition to the total number of pieces of hand luggage.

Detailed information on the timetable of Allegro trains and ticket costs can found

from the toll-free number 8 (800) 775-00-00.

Tickets are charged in roubles at the rate set by the Central Bank of Russia on
the day the tickets are processed.
